1449 The Lu family’s Compensation
“How dare you? When is it your turn to interrupt here?” Lu Gang scolded his son with a straight face.
Lu Hejun was unwilling to give up. He still wanted to speak, but under his father’s stern warning, he could only grit his teeth, shut his mouth, and sit down again.
Seeing that his son was well-behaved, Lu Gang said to City Lord Cheng again, “But City Lord, you also know that Su’er is already… really not suitable to be the wife of Hejun. How about this? I’ll ask Hejun to take her as his concubine and make it up to her?”
Lu Gang’s tone was that of a negotiator. After all, City Lord Cheng was the leader of a city and he was quite strong. It was obviously not worth it to make enemies.
As for whether the compensation fell on Cheng Su’er, the person involved, or in the hands of City Lord Cheng, the father, that was not something the Lu family should care about.
Anyway, it was fine as long as this matter was resolved.
City Lord Cheng didn’t agree immediately. Instead, he looked at Lu Hejun. “Nephew Lu is too young after all. If those two men in black are still alive, we’ll definitely be able to find out who’s behind this.”
What City Lord Cheng said made the expressions of the members of the Lu family a bit strange.
However, they didn’t go against what he said.
“City Lord, you’re right. However, things have already come to this point and it’s already irreversible. In order to express our apology, the Lu family is willing to give Su’er a generous compensation.”
As he spoke, Lu Gang handed a storage bag that he had already prepared to City Lord Cheng. “City Lord, are you satisfied with these compensations?”
City Lord Cheng looked at the storage bag beside him and finally picked it up a moment later.
The storage bag didn’t recognize him as its master. City Lord Cheng scanned it with his divine sense and saw everything in the storage bag.
Seeing the Lu family’s generosity, City Lord Cheng was very satisfied, but he still pretended to be heartbroken on the outside.
“Patriarch Lu is right. At this point, it’s useless to pursue the matter. I only hope that the Lu family can treat Su’er well in the future,” City Lord Cheng said.
“Of course.” Lu Gang quickly replied. Even the other elders echoed his words.
After saying a few more polite words, City Lord Cheng left the Lu family manor with his men.
As for his eldest daughter, who was lying on the ground in a sorry state, he didn’t look at her again.
“Father, this b*tch is already a withered flower. If I marry her, I’ll definitely be teased by the entire Zhuang Prefectural City!” After City Lord Cheng left, Lu Hejun finally couldn’t help but flare up.
Lu Gang glanced at him coldly. “She’s just a concubine now. You have so many concubines. It doesn’t matter if you have one more or one less. What’s the difference? Alright, bring her down!”
Without giving Lu Hejun a chance to speak again, Lu Gang directly asked him to leave with the unconscious Cheng Su’er.
Even though Lu Gang was used to being arrogant, he really didn’t dare to anger his father, so he could only hold back his anger and leave the hall with Cheng Su’er.
“Patriarch, aren’t you giving too much compensation?” An elder said with a heartache.
“Too much?”
Lu Gang sneered as if he had heard a joke. “Do you really think Cheng Zhong is a fool and can’t tell anything? Do you think he’ll let it go if you give him too little?”
Cheng Zhong might not know what the Lu family was up to in this matter, but he could guess that it must be related to the Lu family.
Coupled with the silencing of his son, Lu Hejun, it was even more suspicious.
If Cheng Zhong didn’t let go of this matter and continued to investigate, he would find some clues sooner or later. At that time, the Lu family would probably have to compensate him even more.
